Assessment of potential U. S. petroleum supply shortfalls, 1978--1980. Analysis memorandum

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6223997
An assessment of potential U.S. petroleum supply shortfalls for the period 1978--1990 is presented. The assessment is based upon scenarios defined by the Department of Energy, International Affairs. The scenarios were constructed from two projection series specified in the 1977 Energy Information Administration (EIA) Annual Report to Congress, Volume II. The EIA projection series have been modified in this analysis to reflect the likelihood of constrained world oil supplies in the 1980's and the associated increases in oil prices required to balance world supply and demand.
